As BAD AS A WRECK.

Exorbitant Charges of the Tugs that Res

JACKSONVILLE. FLA. MAY 24.-The

til Friday afternoon, when she was re-

having sustained no further damage
than the loss of her anchors and chains.
The tugs have demanded $4,000 for
what they did, which surely must be an
exorbitant charge, as Captain Eells, I'M
derwriters agency, in this city, stated
to your correspondent this morn
ing that DIR. j. C.. LEngle
said his steam tugs would have pulled
the steamship off for 81 ,OOO-just SEQ, 900
less than the other tugs have charged.
Captain Eells telegraphed to the owners
of the Hercules in Liverpool Saturday
night for instructions, and expects an
answer this afternoon.
The Hercules is loaded with 900 tons
of iron for the Florida Midland Railroad.

$4,000. Nothing can be moved from the
vessel until the claims of the tugs are
satisfied, and if their demand is not ac-
ceded to she Will be libelled and the
United States Court called upon to settle
the matter.
The corOners inquest in the ROgero-

ROME, May 2i.-The Pope, i'm an allo-
cution yesterday. referred to the alliance
of peace with Prussia, which the Pope
said he had made every effort to attain.
The Pope said:
We felt more concerned at the evils
of this religious struggle with Prussia,
and as we We're unable to remedy them
by striving alone, owing to obstacles
which impeded our power. we invoked
the cooperation of the German Bishops
and Catholic Deputies in the Prussian
Diet, from whose constancy and concord
the Church has derived great fruits
and expects still greater. Thanks to the
equitable and pacific sentiments of En-
peror William and his counsellors, the
Prussian Government removed the more
serious inconvenience and then accepted
various practical conditions and peace,
BY which some of the former laws against
the Church have been repealed and 9TH
ers mitiSated. Something remains, but
we must rejoice at what we have OBJ
tanned, and above all in regard to the
free action of the Pope in the govern
ment of the Church in Prussia. We do
not despair of yet obtaining the best re-
suits i'm other parts of Germany, notably
in Hesse-Darmstadt.
God grant that Italy, who is particu-
larry dear To us, may share the spirit OF
peace with which we are animated
toward all nations. We earnestly desire
that Italy should put aside her unhappy
difference with the papacy whose dig
nifty is violated chiefly by conspiracy
of sects. The means of obtaining con
cord would be to establish the Pope i'm a
position where he would be subject to
no power in the enjoyment of full and
real liberty, which, far from injuring
Italy, would powerfully contribute to
her prosperity.

The last game of base ball of the sea-

clubs, was played on the ground of the
Pomonaites ON Saturday, the 2lst, be-
fore a large concourse of people from all
over the Peninsular, resulting IN the Po-
mOnas winning the game by one major
ity. All three of the games were well
played by both clubs, and considerable
interest was taken by the people, as it
was said the winning club would
be presented with silk banner,
but to the Disappointment of all
the banner was not forthcoming, al
though we are Informed that it was on
the ground. For some reason, best
known to the holders, it was kept out of
sight, all of which was no fault of the
Welaka club, who are fine set of jolly
fellows
Mr.. Will Cook umpired the last game,
and Mr.. Z. Kirby the first two. Mr.. c.
s. Stephens and George Ottison were
scorers.
The Pomonaites appeared for the first
time in their new suits, presented to
them by the ladies of Pomona, who take
a great interest lin the club. We may
hear something of the banner later. We
would liked to have seen it, or photo

KEY WEST, FLA, May 24.-The ex-
citement over the yellow fever is susid-
ing. Mr.. Baker, the proprietor of a res
taurant, who was first taken sick, died
yesterday morning, as stated. His wife
died this afternoon. Every precaution
was taken to prevent the disease spread

citizens are of the opinion that it will be
confined to the house in which it Origi-
mated. There is only one case now, the
sister of Baker, and she is improving.
There are rumors of other cases but
they are without foundation.

We're called on to leave their names at

Many are of the opinion that it is not

STATUS OF BETHEL CHURCHES.
The Southern Presbyterian Assembly
State of its Finances.

The Southern Presbyterian Assembly
State of its Finances
ST. LOUIS, May 24.-In the Southern
Presbyterian Assembly to-day, the ques-
tion of bethel churches and their organ
ization being under discussion, it
was finally decided that no church con-
stituted as bethel church had the right
of representation in the Presbytery, and
that an elder i'm one church could not at
the same time be an elder of another
church.
The committee on theological semina
ries submitted a report covering the
affairs of the several seminaries. also the
Institute for Training Colored Ministers.
The number of students in the latter was
fifty-five and it was the belief that the
money used in training and educating
colored teachers was well bestowed.
Columbia Seminary has been closed for
year past, but it had been decided to
reopen it next September. This semi
nary has an endowment of $2SO, 900, and
its future was believed to be very bright.
The Committee on Publication reported
that the debt of $S5, 900 had been paid off
or provided for. and that it now has as
sets, over Liabilities, of $64 900. In view
of this promising fact it was ordered that
colparteurage be started in Presbyteries
where it does not now exist. The Judi
cial Committee made a supplemental re-
port in the case of the Rev. Robin
son, of North Carolina, on appeal from
the Synod of that State, recon-
mending that the case be tried, and
Revs S. w. Davis and p. III. Hodge
We're named to represent the appellee.
The committee on bills and overtures
reported ON overtures from Harmony
and South Carolina Presbyteries, touch
ing the acts of the last Assembly on evo-
luton and the power of the General As
sembly, theological seminaries and their
instructors. The answer was that this
assembly decline to formulate any de-
tailed examination of the acts of the last
Assembly as any statement, however ex-
pressed, could only be regarded as a new
deliverance on the same subject, which
this Assembly does not feel called upon
to make. This was an answer formula
ted by the majority of the committee.
The minority also presented a report
which dealt primarily with the jurisdic-
tion of the different church courts and
the manner in which matters can be
brought before the General Assembly.
1t says:
Respecting the further question of the
South Carolina Presbytery touching the
mode of creation as defined by the last
Assembly. we recommend this Assembly
to answer that the Scriptures cleary re-
veal that in the highest sense God is
the Creator of all things and conse-
quently of Adam, body and soul, and
both the Scriptures and our confession of
faith teach that his body was formed of
1.-The dust of the ground" whether
mediate or immediate. but the ''in-
scrutable mode" God hath not revealed,
and this Assembly holds it is not given
to the church to pronounce definitely as
to the time in which the Creator chose to
work.
The report was docketed for future
consideration.
